How we work together

One way in. Every step credited toward the next.

You don't have to commit to a year to begin. Start where it's safe, see the truth about your team fast, and decide how far to go from there. Each paid step is small, understood, and priced in the open — and your Team Leadership Failure Simulation (Team LFS) credits 50% toward whatever you do next.

Start here — free, then a solo run

Step 1 · 15 minutes

Calibration Call

Fifteen minutes to confirm there's a fit — no more. You'll run a short exercise that surfaces where your team stands, and leave with a real read whether or not we work together. A calibration, not a pitch.

Step 2 · The CEO alone

Run it on yourself first

The Executive Leadership Failure Simulation (ELFS), run solo — feel the diagnostic yourself before you put it in front of your team. You go through it alone and see the quality of the individual read, then decide from experience whether to bring the whole team.

The one most teams start with

Team Leadership Failure Simulation

Team LFS

In 90 minutes, see exactly why your leadership team knows what to do and still doesn't do it — per executive, and as a team, with real behavioral evidence.

It's the closest honest thing to the light switch every CEO is hunting for — and it's emotionally safe. The finger points at the dynamics and the situation, not at your competence. That's why a team will let it see a scary truth. Runs virtually or in person.

$28K–$35K

Up to 8 executives · 90 minutes

Credits 50% toward whatever you do next — a sprint, a retreat, or the partnership. It's a complete product on its own, and we still reward you for continuing.

Start with a Calibration Call

Team LFS is our newest instrument — among the first cohort of teams to run it. Its credibility rests on 25 years and hundreds of leadership teams behind the method, and on the evidence each run produces for your team.

Once you've seen the truth — three ways to act

The diagnostic points to one of three moves. All accept your LFS credit.

90 days · one discipline

Single Discipline Sprint

When the problem is concentrated in one broken discipline, we fix that one — fast, fixed fee, immediate start. The momentum-catcher when a 12-month yes is more than you need right now.

$45K–$65K

The step most teams take

A Leadership Retreat

"Let's go fix it together." The diagnostic becomes the retreat's agenda — here's what broke, here's the retreat built to rebuild exactly that. Focused, Signature, or Bespoke.

12 months · systemic

Performance Partnership

When the dysfunction is systemic, the full engagement installs the Flag Model over a year, measured quarterly against metrics your CEO and CFO co-sign.

Base from $75K

Which one? The diagnostic decides: one broken discipline points to a Sprint; systemic dysfunction points to the Partnership; and for most teams the retreat is the natural, hopeful next move. We'll tell you honestly which fits.

The Performance Partnership

Your direct risk is the base fee. Nothing more.

The partnership begins from a $75K base fee. Beyond that, we only earn a success fee when documented value confirms a 10x return on three metrics you already track — baselined and co-signed by your CEO and CFO before we start. If the ratio isn't there, no fee is invoiced against it.

We share the outcome, not just the invoice. The tiers, maximums, and full mechanics live in the proposal — we walk you through them once we're in a real conversation.

How it starts

01

A 15-minute call

We confirm whether there's a fit — honestly — and where the smallest useful first step is.

02

See the truth

Team LFS shows exactly why your team stalls — the evidence that becomes the plan.

03

Decide how far to go

Sprint, retreat, or partnership — with your credit applied. You choose the depth.

Start small. See the truth. Then decide.

Fifteen minutes with James tells you more than any brochure — and there's no obligation on the other side of it.
